The Republic of Egg Engines is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its closed borders, disturbing lack of elderly people, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 2.244 billion Egg Enginesians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 29.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Egg Enginesian economy, worth 226 trillion stardusts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,003 stardusts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

A sincere statement of belief can get you out of anything, exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", terrorism and assassination are tried-and-true methods of political activism, and uploading purple prose to social media earns a place on a government watchlist. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Egg Engines's national animal is the moonlark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Egg Engines is ranked 39,831^st in the world and 1^st in Egg Engines for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 101.26 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
